I believe so, and I eMailed him at the White House and said exactly that.
There is much I want to get out of this guy, while the getting is good, so I am not going to trash him.
When he’s wrong, I’ll say so. I won’t get a kick out of doing it, but right is right and wrong is wrong.
Ryan and the GOPe ARE NOT AND NEVER WILL BE on the side of Conservatism folks.
NEVER!

Digressing, they could have did what Krauthammer suggested by loading up a healthcare bill that was about pure market forces that determined the prices. Would this bill primarily of market forces gotten past the House? And if it did get past the “moderate” Repubs (highly problematic), I highly doubt it would survived the Senate. Would Mitch let it have an up and down vote without changes? Again doubtful.
But as Krauthammer suggested, the Dems would have gotten the blame for its defeat or most of it.
So it was a thread the needle situation to maybe get around 90% of what’s a ‘good bill’, but as we know, Ryan hid the the bill without much if any input to get a consensus.
Ultimately in the end, the linch-pin is to return to market forces to keep prices competitive. The best way is to undo the in-state monopoly that the healthcare insurance industry now enjoys because there exists an exemption to federal anti-trust laws as long as individual states regulate their in-state insurance companies. 1945 McCarran-Feguson Act. The real question is will Congress allow to dissolve this law in the near future?
I also don’t buy the nonsense that if ObamaCare completely collapses that single-payer is going to take its place. Not when about 240 Republicans are controlling Congress even with RINOs in the party.
As someone pointed up thread, we have to control immigration, likely for several years to move the country to the right, to get a more conservative agenda passed, which of course also includes healthcare.
